Ready Linux

Operating System Version 0.2

Ready Linux is yet another Ubuntu-based distribution, but
this time, combined with the rarely used Sawfish Window
Manager. It is designed to be light, quick and
retro in appearance. Watch a video here.

This project was originally created in 2014 and as
such, is based on the Ubuntu 14.04.05 LTS release.
Which doesn't reach its "end of life" till April 2019.

Ready Linux is currently on the
Distrowatch projects not ready list if you would like to recommend it.
And you can read its
first review, which comes from Japan.

This is what Ready Linux looks like. It boots straight
to a terminal, ready for your commands.

To connect to a wireless network, watch this video.
Or type sudo wicd-curses. Press down arrow
to highlight your network, then press the right arrow key to go in to settings.
Press down arrow until you highlight
'Key:'. Then enter your password, f10 to save and hit enter on your
selected network to connect.

You can also access most of the software and settings via the
usual point and click method. Left-click anywhere near the light blue
border to access the menu. You can install (Watch this Video) Ready from here,
load various programs or customise the Sawfish Windows Manager.
You may also shutdown or reboot the system from here.
